We had an awesome time at Somboon's condo, it was small but perfectly formed, we loved the rooftop garden and swimming pool. The area is great if you want peace and quiet while still being able to access the BTS and downtown. There are local shops, cafes and a great street food market within 10 mins walk where you can pick up fresh fruit and veg as well as great pad thai for 35baht. Somboon was really kind, he was always on hand to help, offered recommendations for places to visit and gave us and our heavy bags a lift to the BTS when we left. I'd really recommend Somboon's place, it is brand new, has everything you need, is 15 mins walk or a free shuttle ride to the BTS at Bearing. Perfect!
